Fully Arthroscopic Anterior Latissimus Dorsi Transfer for Irreparable Subscapularis Tears.
Article in Arthroscopy techniques, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Latissimus dorsi (LD) transfer can be used for the treatment of irreparable subscapularis tears. This article describes a fully arthroscopic LD transfer procedure to manage irreparable subscapularis tears. The LD tendon and muscle are dissected and released arthroscopically, and care must be taken to avoid injury to the axillary and radial nerves. With the use of a portal superior to the upper margin of the pectoralis major (PM) and a portal inferior to the lower margin of the PM, detachment of the proximal PM tendon is not necessary for access to the insertion of the LD tendon. The posterior axillary portal is used to release the connections between the LD muscle and skin. By enlarging the posterior axillary portal to 2 to 3 cm in length, the LD tendon can be easily pulled out of the skin and stronger suture is weaved in open way compared with prepared arthroscopically. The LD tendon can be transferred anteriorly to the lesser tuberosity of the humeral head with fixation using 2 knotless anchors.
